Default Has Anyone Pin-Striped Their xB?

I am thinking of Pin-Striping my xB..... if anyone has done so, would you please post a pic, so I can get an idea of what it would look like.

I was thinking of the "2 - line" pin-stripe which totals 1/2" wide that runs the length of the vehicle.

Thanks,

Jim

pinstriping IMO is good for two toning, otherwise the line of the cars dont need pinstriping, plus it leaves an ugly line once its removed.

good luck with your find and post pics!

Here are some pictures of my XB pinstripping Also included is some pictures of the XB Dub I had done to match the real XB When looking for a good pinstriper always what to see their work and what they have done Have some idea of what you want. If you are not sure then go online use pintripe for your key word and browse you should get some pretty good ideas. also if you find a good experienced stripper then they will have some books and pictures to look at get ideas I kinda knew what I wanted but still did some browsing the person who did mine has been doing all the new cars at my dealership so I knew his work I wanted a Taz Devil done in pinstripes on the hood look close you will see the eyes, hands, and feet on the hood design. I wanted a cartoon of the Xb on the tailgate I let him pick the colors the lighter color is something he custom mixed
I hope this helps Click on pictures to enlarge them

Thank you for all the responses.... I was thinking of the vinyl tape pinstripe, and will try a test strip by very lightly sticking it on to see how it looks before I decide to go with it or not.
